Help deciding between phones

t12b25 · Mar 23, 2015

Hi everybody, first of all I'm sorry if this is in the wrong spot move it if needed please. We want to take advantage of the buy one get one free offer. Now I'm torn between the f60, the one touch fierce 2, and the kyocera hydro life. Which one is the better phone all around?. Is the f60 worth the extra money?. Also as the free device is the one touch fierce 2 better or the hydro life?. If I get an f60 I can get a galaxy light free... Don't know if that's worth it either... I appreciate the help , thank you everyone,
Anthony.

Neither, go for the Avant. If not spend the extra $$$ and the F60. The other two phones are junk.

Kyocera are pure junk as well as Alcatel avoid them imo

The F60 is the best out of those three, it's worth the extra money.

I agree with both posts above about not getting the Hydro Life or One Touch Fierce 2.

Hi, so if I went and got an f60. Which should I get for the free phone?. Only other phone I'd be interested in would be the Samsung Galaxy light that's on their list. Would that be a good choice?. Thank you guys for all the help,
Anthony.

The light is a pretty good choice and lte so you can get them both on the 50 dollars promo plan

Hi, thank you for the help. They are better phones. Sadly lte isn't great in my area. I've tried 2 f6s, an avant, and a lumia 635. All I get is 5-6 during the day while my nexus 4 gets 8-9 on hspa+42. Weird huh. At night I get 13-18 lte and 14-19 h+42. Even right now the f6 isn't even picking up lte. Either way thanks for all the help I was very torn between the phones. Thank you all,
Anthony.

DirtyDee · Mar 23, 2015

Thsy is fine and dandy, but please just go lte and just use h+

t12b25 · Mar 23, 2015

Thanks for the advice. I was just thinking the same thing until I'm in a better area, or they upgrade the tower near me which they really need to do. With all the traffic some days all I get is 2g speeds even with 4g. Lte plus decent space and on screen keys sounds good to me.

Now that the LG F60 has root it is even better.

Get the ZTE Zmax. It's a steal at $99

Hi, I was considering it, but I went into a few local stores today, and all were sold out. Just my luck huh. Thank you for the suggestion,
Anthony.

You're not the only one, the ZTE Zmax has been hard to find with the current sale, they don't stay in stock for long since many people are looking for them.

Hi, I was reading it after I tried to find one. It seems to be a great phone if you can get your hands on one. Not that my nexus 4 on lollipop is bad, but it would've been nice to get a zmax. Thanks again y'all,
Anthony.

I know what you mean. I spent a month trying to find a store that had them in stock.

Kept calling around every few days and a store in the area was getting a shipment in.

Called the next day and they had them so I went there and bought one.

Manager told me that they can't keep them in stock. As soon as they get a shipment, they are gone in a day.

Even the MPCS Web site is out of stock.

Hopefully I can get my hands on one before the deal is gone, but so far I've had no luck.

Honestly, if you want ROM support. Go for the L70. But that's just me for the 2 for 1 deal. I'd get the F60 then get the L70 for free.

Honestly the L70 is the only Metro phone that has Root, a Bootloader Unlocked, and Custom ROM support in all of the phones Metro is offering.

From what I've been reading, the F60 has it's bootloader unlocked and it's rooted. The custom ROMs and such are only a matter of time (and probably will be a short time).

Check the L70 forum. All things root section. We have like 5-6 ROMS already
